The Dolphins carry a 26-24 Round 17 victory over the Warriors into their first finals match, but must now face Go Media Stadium.
Kristian Woolf will have his side prepared for the occasion, with the visitors confronting a hostile home crowd and significant physical pressure.
The winner earns a week off before hosting a preliminary final, while the Warriors believe their first premiership could be only three victories away.
New Zealand are playing a home final there for the first time since defeating the Knights 40-10 during week two of the 2023 play-offs.
The Warriors have also won eight of their 10 matches at Go Media Stadium this season.
The middle battle pits James Fisher-Harris, Erin Clark and Mitch Barnett against Tom Flegler, Max Plath and Tom Gilbert.
Jackson Ford returns for the Warriors after his Round 16 pectoral injury, although he is named on the bench and could move into the starting team.
Leka Halasima also returns from an ankle injury, while rested players Wayde Egan and Kurt Capewell are back.
Sam Healey, Adam Pompey and Eddie Ieremia-Toeava move to the six-man interchange, and reserve Jett Cleary was omitted in the 90-minute update.
Tevita Naufahu joins the Dolphins' 19-man squad, replacing veteran Felise Kaufusi in their only change.
Selwyn Cobbo, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki and Kodi Nikorima return after recovering from ankle, knee and hamstring complaints.
